Here's some guidance on what you can and cannot do

Hello Mspain. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. You have made an excellent start by placing a notice on the talk page of your company's article, rather than tampering with the article itself. Be aware that your every edit to articles is likely to be regarded with an attitude ranging from caution to overt hostility, even though you are being open and aboveboard about your conflict of interest, since "marketing" is generally regarded as a euphemism at best for spamming. Note, also, that you are not editing as a representative of the company in any legal sense: you as an individual human being are taking fully responsibility for your edits, although anything you do at the behest of your employers will also of course make them responsible as well. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:44, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the addition of a second webpage to the article. The subject is only allowed one weblink, not multiples. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:47, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
